New One is up.

I like Alt-F-Off

While I despise Charlie one has to acknowlegde his ability to push peoples buttons.

Oh .... boop.

...so, since when does Charlie care about Bill?

Or is this just Charlie making sure to save Vanna? I mean, hey -- I can respect that. Saving your underlings ensures a supply of underlings later. That's sensible.

But then again, it's Charlie. I can't remember him actually liking anyone who wasn't an Archon... ever. So why now?

Also, what's up with the stuff-sight at the end there? I've heard a few phrases in the form of, "Behind every [successful whatever] is a [helpful somebody else]," but I've never heard that phrase applied to dolls. Who's the paint-face-masked person supposed to be? Bill? too skinny for that... maybe Caesar.

Bill has three hands!

request that we never see the signamancy for Real Dolls

Is Bill seeing the Molls with the special effects style put over them? Does that mean Charlie's appearance is signamantically displaying that it is a construct just like the Molls?

Just low Charlie! Just low!

I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you mean the last panel that's Charlie in Thinkspace talking to Bill. Interesting that he's choosing to appear as a crash test dummy. Expect puns related to these guys and these guys in the next update or two ...

EDIT: Changed the first link to one that shows all of them.

The offensive capabilities off Charlie's spam attacks is not to be underestimated. He can totally disrupt a single units ability to concentrate on a given task in a critical moment, like he did with Lilith. Thankfully such a rapid spam offensive seems to take up all of his concentration.

Parley 'aint the same as accepting an offer to change sides. Is this communication or an offer to change sides? I think it's communication. Parley - speak now under truce before returning to conflict

'Aint no way a dish makes dolls, nor real dolls, it's the Carnymancy that would fabricate this outcome, not the ArkenDish.

Charlie just cannot keep his fingers away from stuff, even when he thinks he won 'the big game' he still keeps on playing away ...

[Parley Mechanics]

So....just anybody can parley?



[Arkendish Mechanics]

Free action?

Like....kicks in a communication space that can take, say, 10 minutes but in real time take not even an instant? A little time bubble, or a space that has it's own individual time mechanics (like different hexes...)?

He's got damage control to do. Money and materiel to recover.


Possibly, but it could also be a lie just to get Bill to answer. I doubt Bill's ever been on an Arkendish'gram before.

Flip it, Caesar, disband him NOW!

That said, I wonder how Charlie’s continued screwing with GK’s interests is supposed to recover his dough from TV?

In other news, I wonder how off-balance Charlie would feel if he were to get an Eyebook call from Parson right about now?

His PANTS would probably go to “Condition Brown”...

Well now, isn't that interesting.

I've finished a fan fic called Shall We Play a Game?.

I'm writing Tales from Seven Hex Valley and Dwagon Riders of Erf.

Since he had to pay Transylvito nineteen million I'd imagine. If he can turn or otherwise secure the support of Bill and his dolls, he may have a shot at reclaiming the funds today(and then some considering the amount of gems Hamster left in Transylvito).

Seems appropriate that Charlie's messages to Bill are indicated as "BUNK."

And so we've discovered the secret of how Charlie can handle "unlimited Thinkagrams". He just does them one at a time, infinitely fast.

As terrible as Bill may be through his past acts, situations like this really make it hard for me to truly hate him. He was manipulated by Vanna, and now he's being manipulated more directly by Charlie. It seems like all Bill can ever do is get manipulated, and given how he is universally hated (even by his own side), there's absolutely been no chance of him ever managing to overcome his obsessions or do anything "except" dive deeper into his work as the only way to survive.

I'm not saying he's forgivable - but he is certainly pitiable. A significant part of me wishes that Bill could get simply sold to another side - one without so much baggage against him, and kept under control while perhaps getting whatever the equivalent is to Erfworld therapy. All while having a strict eye kept on him so he isn't just sitting in a dungeon making sex dolls all day.

Like: have him basically used as a prison laborer while undergoing some counseling. His situation up to this point in TV appears to be as him being more or less left to his own devices while undergoing nothing but scorn and ridicule, being ignored as a problem that is only kept around because of his worth to the side.

The dude really could use it at this point.

Of course, I doubt he's going to survive. His only chance of survival is to throw himself at Caesar's mercy and hope that the casters around Caesar (Maggie, Benjamin, and Jack) can convince him to not immediately disband the guy (Bill is still valuable, after all, especially at the moment with the Maggie doll being used and him dying possibly affecting that). Either that, or attempt to change sides before he can be disbanded and somehow escape - but I find it hard to believe that he has the capability to get out of TV on his own right now of all times.

I'm wondering what Charlie could possibly offer him right now, though. The smart thing for Charlie would be to use, via remote linking and the dish, a link with Bill to attack TV from within. Perhaps by controlling the dolls to kill Caesar, or creating a new special doll or dolls within TV to use later (even if Bill is disbanded), or any of a number of things. None of these possibilities lead to Bill likely surviving for long, however - they are long shots meant to benefit Charlie, not him.
